We remove mold in Slidell and eastern St. Tammany Parish. That is the whole business: the wet material comes out, the framing gets cleaned where it stands, and you get a written report of what left the house and why. Louisiana keeps the company that evaluates a mold problem separate from the company that removes it; we are the removal company.
Slidell’s houses carry two water histories. South of I-10 — Eden Isle, Oak Harbor, Northshore Beach, Olde Towne — the 2005 surge came up out of Lake Pontchartrain and the Rigolets, and most of those houses were rebuilt on the old slab or lifted onto new piers. North of the interstate, Cross Gates, Hickory, and Alton are 1970s and 80s slab houses under tall pines, and Ida in 2021 took shingles off them by the street. Between storms an air conditioner runs ten months a year, and a wall cavity here never gets a dry afternoon in August. EPA’s clock for wet materials is 24 to 48 hours; the lake, the roof, and the AC each beat it.
We don’t quote from a description. We come out, put a moisture meter on the drywall and the framing, and follow the wet edge past the stain you can see. That sets the job: which sheets come out, which studs get cleaned in place, how far the containment runs. We tell you where the water got in and what has to change for the removal to hold; the roof, plumbing, or drainage repair itself goes to contractors we work with, and we cover that on the call. If another company has already written a report on your house, keep it nearby when you call.
We take calls from Slidell, Pearl River, Lacombe, Eden Isle, Bayou Liberty, Olde Towne Slidell, Northshore Beach, Cross Gates, Oak Harbor, Alton, Bonfouca, and Hickory — the raised camps along the bayous, the rebuilt lakefront, and the slab subdivisions under the pines.
Any mold job over $7,500 in Louisiana calls for a state mold remediation license, which the Louisiana State Licensing Board for Contractors issues. Look us up — or anyone else you’re considering — at lacontractor.org or by calling 1-800-256-1392. Ask for the license number, a certificate of insurance, and a written scope before the first sheet of drywall comes down.
Tell us what the stain or smell is like, which room it’s in, which material got wet, and the date the water showed up. We’ll also ask for your ZIP code and the phone number you want us to use. When we’re free, your call goes straight through; when we’re on a job, we book a callback and name the number that will call you back.
